DIFFERENTIAL: REAR DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY (for 2GR-FSE): REASSEMBLY - Continued




13. ADJUST TOTAL PRELOAD






(a) Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
SST: 09229-55010
Total preload (at starting):
New bearing
1.54 to 2.96 N*m (1.57 to 30.2 kgf*cm, 13.6 to 26.2 in.*lbf)
Reused bearing
0.82 to 1.96 N*m (8.4 to 20.0 kgf*cm, 7.3 to 17.3 in.*lbf)
- If the measured preload is less than the specified value, replace the rear differential side gear shaft snap ring of the ring gear tooth surface side with a thicker one.
- If the preload is greater than the specified value, replace the rear differential side gear shaft snap ring of the ring gear tooth surface side with a thinner one.
HINT: When the rear differential side gear shaft snap ring thickness changes by 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.), the total preload will change by approximately 0.1 N*m (1 kgf*cm, 0.9 in.*lbf).





(b) Set a dial indicator to the end of the differential ring gear face.
(c) While holding the rear drive pinion companion flange rear, rotate the ring gear and measure the backlash.
Backlash:
0.08 to 0.13 mm (0.0031 to 0.0051 in.)
NOTICE:
- If the measured value is out of the specified range, adjust it by increasing or decreasing the thickness of both right and left side gear shaft snap rings equally.
- When the side gear shaft snap ring thickness changes by 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.), the backlash will also change by approximately 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.).

(d) Recheck the total preload.
